Simply spectacular!

The Legend of 1900' offers a unique premise we haven't seen before. This is an extraordinary film.
The film gave me that epic 'Titanic' feel, just not as commercial, and a love story of an entirely different kind. A love for music - the piano to be more specific. 'The Legend of 1900' will definitely have a greater appeal to musicians and in particular jazz musicians. Even if you're not a musician, this is an interesting watch and a film to be admired for so many reasons.
'The Legend of 1900' is visually beautiful. The production design is incredible and the photography and cinematography stunning. Acting from the entire cast is very good, but especially Tim Roth in the lead. He embraces the character to perfection.
The story is told in a non-linear manner, but it is easy enough to follow. Despite the film's long running time, it keeps the viewer glued. It felt as if the story was being told to me, and I couldn't wait to hear what direction the story would steer in. During the film's final moments there are come credibility issues, which I won't mention in order not to create spoilers. Despite that, though, this was an incredible watch - a film I thoroughly enjoyed! This was quite spectacular, actually.
